The Rudnik orefield is one of the well-known skarn-replacement and
high-temperature hydrothermal Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Bi-W polymetallic sulfide
deposits, and is a part of the Šumadija Metallogenic District, Serbia. It
comprises ore bodies grouped into several major ore zones. The
pseudostratified and platelike ore bodies have relatively high content of
valuable metals. The average content varies in wide ranges: Pb (0.94-5.66
wt%), Zn (0.49-4.49 wt%), Cu (0.08-2.18 wt%), Ag (50-297 ppm), Bi (~100-150
ppm), and Cd (~100-150 ppm). Generally, a complex mineral association has
been determined. Iron sulfides, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite,
galena and sulfosalts are abundant minerals in the ore. Carrier minerals of
Bi and Ag are Bi-sulfosalts, such as galenobismutite, cosalite, Ag-bearing
aschamalmite, vikingite, schirmerite and gustavite. Copper, Ag and Pb-Sb
sulfosalts have been found only locally. Complex Ni-minerals (sulfides,
arsenides ...and sulfoarsenidеs) with Fe, Co and Ag were formed under to the
influence of present serpentine rocks and their yield of Ni, Co and Cr in
the hydrothermal ore-bearing solutions. Significant scheelite
mineralizations have been found in the Nova Jama, Gušavi Potok and Azna ore
zones. The presence of Bi-sulfosalts and argentopentlandite suggests
formation temperatures higher than 350, and lower than 445°C, respectively.
Therefore, the mineralization was formed in the temperature range 350 to
400°C. The continuity of pyrite, pyrrhotite and siderite colloform bands in
relic aggregates shows frequent changes of fS2 and fO2 in hydrothermal
solutions. Isotopic composition of sulfur also confirms that the source of
the ore-bearing fluids was magmatic. In addition, the enrichment of Bi and
Ag indicates a magmatic origin. The appearance of Biminerals represents a
significant genetic indicator for detection of increased Ag concentrations
within the ore mineralizations. Typical gangue minerals are quartz,
silicates, carbonates, oxides and different oxy-hydroxides. Special
attention is given to the paragenetic relationships and the genetic
significance of mineral associations as indicators of ore-forming conditions.
